Chapter 45 "It's okay, babe, wolves crave touch and closeness. It is perfectly normal. Don't ever feel afraid to reach out and touch me. It will calm your wolf, as it does mine. Did you feel a peace wash over you at my touch?" Oh, I felt something wash over me, but I'm not quite sure it was exactly peace. My heart was already racing just at his closeness, now I thought it may just jump out of my chest. But there was something searching in his eyes, like he neededto confirm this for him. I nodded, even knowing I couldn't control the blush that was no doubt turning my face into a blotchy mess.
He let out a small breath I hadn't realized he was holding and smiled so big it was contagious, and I found myself returning it.

I gave a small yelp in surprise as he reached out and wrapped his arms aroundand pulledonto his lap cradlinglike a small child.
My wolf stirred in excitement, though she made no attempt to take control. I could not remember ever feeling so content. Both my wolf and I were at complete peace, and my entire body calmed. Even my racing heart stilled as I soaked up the warmth surroundingin Kyle Westin's embrace. I laid my head on his shoulder and turned towards his neck. Without realizing what I was doing, I took a deep breath, letting his scent envelope me. It was a scent I knew well, but there was something different about it this time, something I couldn't quite place. I felt him shudder lightly around me.
He turned and kissed the top of my head. My first instinct was to jolt and get away from him quickly, but I couldn't physically make myself do it. Instead, it was like this dam that had been holding back my deepest emotions for most of my life cracked, and with that small crack, everything broke free.
I was crying, borderline hysterical, the big ugly, full body sobbing cries. I should have been humiliated to do that in front of him, but I wasn't, and I couldn't have stopped it if I tried. He just held me, slightly rocking in a soothing pattern and tellingover and over that he was there and everything was going to be fine now, that he would never let anything bad happen toagain. No one had ever comfortedin a such a way outside of my parents, and. I craved it.
At spoint, he must have lulledto sleep because the next thing I knew I woke up and couldn't remember where I was or what I was doing. I was in the in the most amazing cocoon imaginable. I 21.1% Chapter 45 felt safer than I'd ever felt in my entire life. I knew I was in my den before I even opened my eyes because I could smell my usual scents, but they were accompanied by a new smell A masculine scent of pine and lemon that just smelled refreshingly like hcombined with my usual den smells. I stretched and the palm of my hand rubbed against something firm, but comfortably inviting. A soft moan escaped as I turned and snuggled in closer. I sighed contentedly, opening my senses, surprised to hear a soft mumbling noise I couldn't quite place. With sconcentration, the sound morphed into voices, and the hair on my body, even in human form, stood up.

Suddenly, everything from the day ccrashing back in on me. I jerked and sat up quickly. I moved fast, real fast, imagining they saw little more than a blur as I retreated into my favorite hidey hole in the den. I sniffed the air in alert confusion, and let out a low growl when I smelled intruding females in my territory.
"Oh my gosh! Did you see that?" "No, where did she go?" "I don't know. I've never seen someone move so quickly, especially in human form."
Human form, I thought? Oh right. I recognized the voices. Lily and Elise. m My heart rate sped up in a pand ate before remembered they knew now and they were all in on it too. The pain of that betrayal hitlike a ton of bricks. "Back off, and get back upstairs. I told you she wasn't comfortable with you girls in her den." "We're her friends, Kyle. You're an alpha, you're a bigger threat to her than we are." "It's not like that. You know she wolves are very territorial. You two couldn't even share a bedroom once you both cof age, and you're sisters." "Yeah, yeah," Lily said, "But really, I'm worried about her, Kyle. Where did she go?" I sighed as I crawled out on all fours, but still fully dressed and in human form.
"I'm here. I'm okay. Sorry. I think I dozed off and was just confused waking up with new scents and voices here. Just got spooked. I'm sorry." (0) (0)
